dug these up a while back and was wondering is anyone had any information on them .the spoon has an eagle ,what looks like mountains with the sun setting behind them and two sheffs of wheat.between the eagle and the mountains it says ohio.on the back there is a shield with 13 stars and 7bars .wm rogers & sons. the fork says med dept.usa with g.m. stamped at the end im not sure what the g.m. stands for thanks.

Very cool! I have one similar to the eagle one but don't know anything about it either. Is yours sterling?

 

[mikmis]

thanks jane i think the spoon was silver plated copper and the fork is solid silver

I found mine under the floorboards of a house in Greenville NY. It's marked sterling and is pretty nice. Your fork is really interesting, could it be civil war?

i found the fork in an outhouse for a bording house for railroad workers .they were building the northwestern and pacific railroad up over corona pass (rollins pass),along with some nice bottles and table ware.the fork cane from a different area but i dont think its civil war unless maby one of the guys working at a mine up here was in the civil war and brought it with him.
